Berk-Tek, Legrand|Ortronics to Present at Datacenter Conference

  • Mar 10, 2011
Berk-Tek, a Nexans Company, and Legrand|Ortronics, which manufactures high-performance copper and fiber structured cabling systems, will be presenting at the Datacenter Dynamics conference and Expo on March 10 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Brian Ensign, technology director for Legrand’s data communications division, will present a session titled “Intelligent Infrastructure Investment: Data Center Network Infrastructure Design for Maximum Value.”

The conference is aimed at networking professionals who design, build and operate datacenter facilities, and it addresses the challenges data center owners and operators face in meeting the complex combination of required service delivery, technology advances, energy-efficiency, resilience and security.

The speaker program draws on a pool of international industry experts. Ensign’s presentation will examine how a properly designed and strategically deployed passive network infrastructure can provide a flexible, energy-efficient, reliable and cost-effective datacenter environment for years to come. Often viewed as simply a component of the physical facility, the passive data center network infrastructure can play an important role in maximizing operational efficiency, optimizing server consolidation and virtualization, guaranteeing uninterrupted network and application availability and extending the useful life of the datacenter.

Together Berk-Tek and Legrand|Ortronics offer an integrated approach to designing and implementing foundational network elements critical to a data center environment. NetClear is the co-engineered result of this “layer one” network infrastructure. All NetClear systems ensure application availability and technical evolution by providing robust, high-performance channels for the complex and challenging datacenter environments of today and tomorrow.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
